Wilbur Voted Aye.
Minneapolis Journal.

Everybody in Dakota knows Wilbur F..
Steele. He was a member of the Legisla.
ture from Steele-county. There IL an in.
cident in Steele's legislative career that
goes very far to show his characteristic re.
gard for his wife. He has one fault how
ever. He takes no stock IN woman suffrage
except when he is Obliged to. On the
occasion in question the woman suffrage
bill was before the House. Major PickIey
was ehampiOning the cause of the fair sex
in eloquent words when call was made
for vote, and the clerk proceeded TO call
the roll. When Steele's name was reached
he rose with the dignity Of DemOsthenes
and commenced:
"Mr. Speaker, ] am sorry that | cannot
support this bin, butt
At that moment a well-dressed lady
was seen to bend over the gallery rail. In
a loud voice she exclaimed:
"W-i-l-b-e-r!''
He glanced upward. It was enough.
He turned and said:
Mr.. Speaker, ! vote aye.''
The lady was Steele's wife.

rousing benefit at the Star Theatre, in this
city, on the 10th of May. Booth, Barrett,
Jefferson, Mantell, John Gilbert, Fanny
Davenport, Mrs. JOOn Drew and other
shining stars of the dramatic firmament
will take part.
Couldock is the oldest 'Old man" Of the
stage. "Old COuldOckn his chums call
him in good fellowship. There are three
patriarchs of the old stage-CouldOck,
William Warren and John Gilbert. Coul,
dock was born in Long Acre, England, in
1915, and was - years OF age on April 26.
He came to New York in 1885 and played
in the old BOwery theater, and has played
all over the country and in this city ever
since. As Luke Fielding in ''The Willow
Copse" and Dunstan Kirke in Hazel
Kirke" he is known to the playgOers OF
the country.
In 1851 Nine. Celeste came to this coun-
try and produced ''The Willow COpse, "
designed for her by Mr.. Boucicault. The
piece was presented at the old Walnut
Street Theatre, in Philadelphia. A com
partiyely unknown actor by the name OF
Couldock was cast for the part Of Luke
Fielding When the engagement was
concluded Nine. Celeste, magnanimous
rs she was brilliant, handed COuldock her
copy of the play, with these words: ''This
play is yours--I give it to you; il. is yours
by right, for your genius and art have
made a star part of Luke Fielding. AS for
me. take part in the play no morer'
That was more than third Of century
ago, and still CouldOck plays Luke Field
ing with the same pathetic strength which
gained him applause in those far of days.
His own daughter for n time played the
part of Rose, but she died after a short dra.
matte career. Recently dear, little BiiOu
Heron played the part of Hazel Kirke,
when he was Dunstan, her father.
'Hazel Kirke" was first played under
the title of "The Iron Will" Steele
Mackaye found CouldOck playing il it, and
remodelled and renamed it, and the patri
archal actor has played itat least $50 time:
year during the past five years.
In 1875 Steele Mackaye engaged Coul.
dock to play the part Of the Professor il
his play called "WOn at Last, p" and his
performance of the character in this city il
remembered by all. He made such hit
in this part that when the Madison Square
Theatre was built he was the first person
engaged for the stock company.
He played in the American Cousin
with Laura Keene. Both he and SOtherr
at first refused their parts in that play
thinking there was nothing in them. Mis-
Keene requested them in friendly way
to play them and cut them as much rs
they pleased. Sotheru's character was
Lord Dundreary, and in disgust he went
on and guyed it numerically and made Z
hit-in fact, made his lifelong success and
whatever fame lives after him.
COuldOcE is flvOrite of the stage people
~ well as the people. His benefit will be
something overwhelming, financially, nc
doubt. G.. l.. BARNETT.
